Requirements

If you are planning to become a sheet metal designer or product design, then this is the right course for you. In this course, you will learn about design considerations; a designer needs to keep in mind while designing a product.

I have not discussed any sheet metal operation here. I am discussing the consideration which a designer should use so that sheet metal parts do not get deform while manufacturing. Overall, 20 considerations have been discussed in the course. Students can make a list of all the points and use the values when they are designing parts in sheet metal. You will also get a detailed lecture on flat length so that your basics are clear before proceeding with the other design features.

Pre-requisites –   There are no pre-requisites for this course; you should know about only CAD software as without any CAD knowledge you will not be able to practice.
